JULY 2021 - Update pertaining to treatment of injured workers:
The Ohio BWC has updated their COVID-19 policies and guidelines. Per their revisions, as of August 16, 2021, phone sessions for therapy will no longer be authorized. Also, the BWC has decided to keep the current telemedicine guidelines so long as the telemedicine platform is HIPPA compliant. This means that injured workers can continue to use their smart phones or computer, and their home can continue to be the origination site when participating in therapy. As a reminder, please be in a private, quiet area during your appointment.
These updates provide clients with two treatment options:
1. Face-to-face (in our office)
2. Telemedicine (via our HIPAA compliant version of Doxy.me)
Please speak with your clinician to help determine the best option.
